It should not be the vehicle.
Taxi should be about providing service.
At present in Singapore, Taxi Driving is a last chance for
Singaporeans who fell down the economic cracks.
Taxi driving should be a profession. The taxi driver a
professional.
Firstly, there is no more such thing as poor resale value, korean
had in a way make the japanese down on their kneel, most Jap car
sale reported less profitable or loss in their P/L report. It is
good to see so many of these cars around from different source,
competition benefit the consumer at large.
I remember long ago when I visited Borneo Motor to look for
toyota brand, the sales guys are as proud as the statue of Stamford
Raffles,
Just few week ago,
I just happen to be there for van servicing next door, as I step
into their show room, I was immediately treated to a free buffet,
free test drive with free gift, end up, I did not buy anything and
yet still get a bow and lots of thank you. You could see the
competition from the koreans is no joke, from Kia, to hyundai to
samsung, LG, you name it.
When I was in Busan, Hyundai Shipbuilding and Yard as a seamen,
the koreans told me, their main objective is to beat and down
Japan, because by taking down Japan, they know they would had taken
the world. So, with that motto, they strive ON.
And FYI, taxi driving is a profession, we do not need to be
professional, we are the professional taxi driver, but the problem
is, the public in Singapore do not take us as professional TD. So,
no matter how you want us to be professional as we already are, if
the public do not acknowledge it, some treat us as the lower rung
of the society, what can we do?
